With the BalsaCarbo X7, two additional layers of Balsa wood have been added to its standard 5-ply construction which provides a higher degree of reaction. Tenergy 05 Hard has adopted a stiffer sponge to add further power to the original Tenergy 05 rubber. While Tenergy 05 Hard still maintains the incredible ‘Spring Sponge’ feel, the hard sponge responds to a stronger impact enabling more power. PLEASE NOTE: Ultimately, most players find a blade that best suits their own individual and unique style of play and will use that blade for many years. If properly cared for, the blade will last years. However, the rubber will wear out over time and need to be replaced. When that day comes, DO NOT THROW THIS RACKET AWAY! The glue that is used to assemble Butterfly Pro-Line rackets will allow you to easily remove the old rubber. You can have the rubber professionally installed or you can even do it yourself! Replace with the same rubber or upgrade to one that offers more speed, or more spin, or both! Did You Know?
